Description
Willy Willy, Harry......er.....no. This one doesn't fit into the rhyme, BUT, after lopping Charles I's head off, Oliver Cromwell abolished the Monarchy and led the country himself, so he's a worthy inclusion.
In this episode Charlie Higson unpicks Cromwell's life and the reasons why we had 11 years without a King or Queen.
His 'proper historian' is Dr Jonathan Healey, author of 'Blazing World - A New History of Revolutionary England'
